abhi, 16 Feb 2011I think Zte blade has android 2.1 from the starting but u s... moreEven though the tech specs are awesome, in the hand it feels a little cheapish; it's worth maybe 8-10k. Definitely not the 15k the Dell XCD35 is selling for. Yeah, 2.1, especially the orange branded one, is a drag but i wanna use it like that for a few days before i flash to froyo. Screen is awesome, but not that great in sunlight. The zylo's is better!!!

I managed to solve the opera mini 4.2 and 5 installation problem. Borrowed a friend's vodafone sim, set up the apn, and tested the internet is working in 4.1. Then ran 4.2 and 5 and they installed without a hitch. Then swapped back to the loop sim and they would still connect properly. it was only the installation phase that was getting stuck on that sim. So now my zylo has opera mini 3, 4.1, 4.2 and 5. Multitasking all of these together is really fun!

Many thanks for all your help man. And anyone else who contributed, esp. smard for the 4.1 suggestion :-D

    I just bought a Zylo a couple of days back! I found absolutely no issues (though I may be speaking too soon). The phone looks brilliant and is quite fast. I found messaging also very easy on it.

        Julian, 16 Feb 2011Guys, i just got myself an Orange San Fransisco/ZTE Blade. ... moreI think Zte blade has android 2.1 from the starting but u should update it to android 2.2(it's available for blade) to get most of missing features on 2.1 version. Also u may find android awkward at in starting but soon u will start to like it. It's addictive like cocaine... lol...

          Guys, i just got myself an Orange San Fransisco/ZTE Blade. Since it's my first android phone it's very awkward for me, i'm just too used to SE's OS and shortcuts, but i'm learning. Not sure if i'll sell the zylo, i really like it in spite of the call problems.

          Anyway, while reading the manual, i saw that MMS had delivery report and read report options. But not SMS, which had only delivery report. So i guess that's why when we enable read report for SMS on our Zylos it converts it to MMS. It's an option only for MMSs.

                                    abhi, 10 Feb 2011Help me guys... Which headphones should I buy > HPM-64 ... morehpm-64 is not good for clear bass, because it makes the sound sharp and can't punch the bass. Hpm-64 is good for megabass like w595,w760,etc.
                                    Use better earphone. At least hpm-70. It has deep bass. But if you wanna get more clarity, choose hpm-77. The sound bass is good and the detail is much better than hpm-70.

                                      i 've used hpm 64 bass reflex in zylo.
                                      its stunning ,especially when you play in clear bass or mega bass.
                                      i dont know about hpm 62.

                                        there is a function "walk-mate" in this function this mobile actually shows the number of steps we walk. "its amazing" it counts how much steps we walked. GOOD MOBILE.
